Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Green Wood-Hoopoe at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Welgevonden Game Reserve. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.
The Green Wood-Hoopoe is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (19% of records), Gauteng (19% of records), Mpumalanga (19% of records), based on 1 879 iNaturalist observations. 37 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Green Wood-Hoopoe on site or nearby.
The Green Wood-Hoopoe is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
